Let's divide 232681 by 87
The aim is to understand the frequency of 87 in 232681.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 87

On to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 232 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
87 goes into 232 2 times with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 174 from 232, we get 58.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 586 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 586 6 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 522 from 586 to get 64.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 648 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 648 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 267.0
Subtracting 609 from 648 leaves us with 39.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 391 / 87

On to step 6:
When dividing 391 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2674.0
If we subtract 348 from 391, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
87 goes into 430 4 times with a remainder of 82.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2674.4
Subtract 348 from 430 to get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Step 8:
87 goes into 820 9 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2674.49
Deduct 783 from 820 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 370 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2674.494
Subtract 348 from 370 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
220 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 46.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2674.4942
If we subtract 174 from 220, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2674.49425
If we take 435 away from 460, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 12:
87 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 76.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2674.494252
If we subtract 174 from 250, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 760 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2674.4942528
If we subtract 696 from 760, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 87 fits into 640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2674.49425287
If we take 609 away from 640, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2674.49425287 with a balance of 3.1e-08.
